I wrote up a quick tune today trying to embody some thoughts on King Jesus as the law for my continued series on Jude tomorrow. If you’re trying to sort out the whole “faith vs works” or “law vs freedom” theological debates, look no further than one of my favorite books, Salvation by Allegiance Alone by Matthew Bates.
